I bought this property in 2013 because it was unique and in a unique location. The Pukeko unit was named after the Pukeko that roam around the salt water marsh, 100 meters away. Pukeko on Bay was created for the family when they come and visit. But it is my delight to open it up to other travelers when it is available. A large deck outside the Unit is great for late afternoon drinks or a place to chill and read.

We get enormous satisfaction from ensuring guests have a great time and an enjoyable stay. "What an amazing and comfortable stay. It felt like a home away from home. The host was very kind and helpful and made sure that we had everything we needed. Very clean. Would book again in a heartbeat." Guests from the Netherlands
